Nathan James Kensi Wood Accent Nightstand End Open Lower Cubby and Drawer for Bedroom or Living Room as Side Sofa Table with Storage, Walnut/Black

I was hesitant to buy because I worried it would look cheap but it is very beautiful for the price! It was easy to assemble and the instructions were clear and cleverly written. It does take a little time (about 45 mins to assemble). The pieces arrived very well packaged in one box, with no damage or missing hardware. I definitely recommend!

I bought this for use as a nightstand. I've been looking on and off for several years, and finally the design, reviews and price of this combined to scream "buy me". I was also excited that the V pattern would match my headboard.Y'all, only after I received it and saw how dark it was, did I go and look at my headboard again, and realize that I have a warm, medium brown, live edge headboard with no sign of a herringbone pattern. So I knew it wasn't going to match (though I still don't know what I was thinking when I bought it).The packaging impressed me, the wood veneer looked like good quality, and returning flat pack furniture is a lot, so I figured I could use it somewhere in my house. Putting it together was simple, with well labeled pieces and clear instructions. You do need your own standard screwdriver.The finished product is sturdy and the drawer slides smoothly. There was so much attention to detail from design to packaging, that I would definitely buy Nathan James again. I'm also glad that I spent the extra money to get Nathan James instead of the off-brand imitation version of this that's also listed on Amazon.

I was looking for something to put next to my desk that would store a few things and importantly, had a drawer to hide things like keyboard/mouse and wires when not in use. This Side table fit the bill perfectly! First and foremost, the instructions and assembly was a breeze. I was shocked at how quality everything felt when building it, and the precision with the pre-drilled holes etc was impressive. I love the wood pattern on the front of the drawer and the metal frame legs means there's more room for storage underneath!Overall, no complaints and will definitely be buying this brand again. It looks great, feels quality, and was easy to assemble! Would recommend to friend :)

I was initially excited to receive this nightstand, but upon completing assembly, it became clear it wasn't a keeper. I'll break down my review into a few sections:1. Quality: Overall, the quality is ok. It's similar to something you may find at IKEA in terms of the particle board thickness/density. However, I've come to realize IKEA also isn't always the best quality available for assembled furniture so overall I would give it a 4/5 in this category. The material feels thick and heavy, but then again that isn't always synonymous with quality. Regardless, it feels like a solid piece of furniture save for the drawer (which admittedly I've come to find is the most common quality issue with furniture that needs to be assembled -- the drawer is rattly and doesn't feel solid).2. Ease of Assembly: I may be a bit biased in this regard because I actually really enjoy assembling furniture, but I still think it's an easy piece to assemble. It definitely took me over a half hour contrary to what the advertisement states (probably closer to 45 minutes) but it wasn't a grueling process. The parts are all labeled well with the correct holes and the instructions are easy to follow with a few humorous quips included. I'd give it a 5/5 in this area.3. Finished Result: Overall it feels like a decent piece, but I have one large hang-up which was the main deciding factor in returning this piece: the drawer doesn't line up. And I know some of you are thinking "That's probably user error because if you line up the holes correctly there's no room for issues," and that's what I thought until I inspected the problem further. The alignment issue I had was that the drawer insisted on nesting on the bottom right corner of where it fits. There is a noticeably larger gap on the top and left sides that ruins the entire look. I tried to adjust the runners by moving them as high as possible with the little wiggle room they have, but that didn't really fix it. As for the left side, I believe the piece had a manufacturing error as the tracks would have to be loosened on one side to center the drawer which of course takes away structural integrity. I didn't try this as I figured there was no way I could loosen it the needed amount. I would give it a 3/5 in this area. The piece feels generally solid, but the appearance and quality feel a bit lackluster for $120.Overall, I decided to take off 1 star for quality and 1 star for finished result. If you're looking for a decent herringbone designed nightstand, I would probably look elsewhere or keep an eye out for a sale on this one.

Update 9/2022I contacted customer service for Naathan JamesThey said I could get a refund via amazon gift card or wait for another side table but it wouldn't get delivered mid-late August.Since they are a small company I thought I'd give it a shot, what's another couple of months?It definitely fit together better the second time around. Assembly time still around 1.5 hours.Customer service was great!!5/2022:I went back and forth about ordering this and finally went for it and ordered two.After opening it I noticed the wood from then drawer had all these nail sized holes on the front... that should have been my first clue to abort this project and return but I decided to push forward. The drawer rods aren't straight which is weird since it's neatly packaged.Finally one of the sides is 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch off (i measured)...meaning it isn't flush with the front and this means the back portion won't slide into place.What a waste of money?!I'm super disappointed with the quality not to mention the time I will never get back! 30 minutes assembly is a joke, I worked on it for much longer and have nothing to show for it.
